The Creative Class Group is teaming with the City of Roanoke for a Creative Community Leadership Project this spring.

“The City of Roanoke is issuing a call to the community to identify 30 local leaders who hold the key to turning Roanoke into one of the most desirable and sustainable communities in the country”

“The city is asking anyone who is willing to commit the time and skills to take on a leadership position, to put in a formal application,” says City Manager Darlene Burcham. “Even if people do not want to take on the leadership role, we would still encourage them to attend meetings and learn about the program.”

“CCG Director of Communities and Research Steven Pedigo says, “We have led community engagement projects around the world, and we are thrilled with the enthusiasm of Roanoke and look forward to our research and seminar.”
